The Song at the Center of a Mystery

Did you know there is a real mystery that revolves around this beautiful old tune?

I’ll tell you the tale soon. In the meantime, listen to Love’s Old Sweet Song and see if you can imagine what kind of story it is. I’ll put the lyrics beneath this recording.

Maybe give the song a thumbs up to this song on YouTube too. It doesn’t cost anything to give these old stories and songs a “like” and they tend to go extinct if no one appreciates them!

Once in the dear dead days beyond recall.
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our hearts love sang an old sweet song
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam
Softly it wove itself into our dream

Just a song at twilight
When the lights are low,
And the flickering shadows
Softly come and go
Though the heart be weary,
Sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes love’s old song
Comes love’s old sweet song.

Even today we hear love’s song of yore
Deep in our hearts it dwells forever more
Footsteps may falter, weary grows our way
Still we can hear it at the close of day
So till the end when life’s dim shadows fall
Love will be found the sweetest song of all.

Just a song at twilight
When the lights are low,
And the flickering shadows
Softly come and go

Though the heart be weary,
Sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes love’s old song
Comes love’s old sweet song.
